Vertical slug flow is characterized by the rise of long bullet-shaped gas bubbles with a
diameter almost matching that of the tube-Taylor bubbles. Liquid slugs separate consecutive …

Slug flow is a dynamically complex two-phase flow pattern. A wide variety of industrial gas-
liquid systems operate under slug flow conditions for not only flow transportation purposes …

The dynamics of a Taylor bubble rising in stagnant liquids is numerically investigated using
a front tracking coupled with finite difference method. Parametric studies on the dynamics of …

Dynamics of the Taylor bubble interface in the vertical counter-current flow was analyzed
with video recordings at 100–800 frames per second. Taylor bubbles in air-water mixture …

Experimental investigation on vertical upward co-current air–water slug flow was carried out
at atmospheric pressure, employing optical probes and high-speed photography …

The heat transfer enhancement due to slug flow has been widely studied both
experimentally and numerically, yet identification of the main heat transfer mechanisms has …

When a confined long gas bubble rises in a vertical tube in a cocurrent liquid flow, its
translational velocity is the result of both buoyancy and mean motion of the liquid. A thin film …

The hydrodynamic study of the liquid film around Taylor bubbles in slug flow has great
significance for understanding parallel flow and interaction between Taylor bubbles. The …

The Taylor bubble driven by buoyancy and additional pressure is in a non-equilibrium state,
which bubble and liquid flow have an accelerated tendency of rising, and the bubble …

The effects of co-current flows on a rising Taylor bubble are systematically investigated by a
front tracking method coupled with a finite difference scheme based on a projection …
